Sterling Arms TR

[crogers]

I have it on good authority that a guy who bought a bunch will be selling them off on the EE soon for about what he paid for them.... ;-)

Great news maybe I want one after all. I hoped you stashed away some for personal use.

So time for a stupid question what clamp are people using when installing the barrel nut? Does this work in a normal clamp for an AR or does it have to be modified or is there a good option of the shelf? Thanks for any help and I will pass this info on to Mike.

I've heard Mike talk about the success he has had using a reaction rod instead of a clamp

I used a reaction rod from TNA it worked 110%!

Has anyone shot theirs yet?

 

[TopShelf97]

Pardon this stupid question, but I am a new gun owner and I just got my receiver today.

How worried should I be regarding the rust?

I’m kind of afraid to touch it because the natural oils on my hand may do something to it.

Should I cover it in oil before I touch it? Or am I just being paranoid?

My wife completed assembling hers a couple hours ago and will be shooting it this weekend. I'll get some pics up and then share a range report after the weekend.

Aluminum doesn't rust.

My bad I meant corrosion.

You have nothing to worry about. The aluminum is anodized which is a surface treatment that both hardens the surface and protects the raw aluminum.

Get your gun put together and enjoy

Anyone know if you need to use a different front take down pin and detent and spring? Can't get the detent far enough in to get the pin in. I'm thinking about trimming the spring

 

[Snowmaker]

Thats exactly what I did.

Trim the spring. Problem solved.

Just got mine from Canada post. Very pleased with the quality of this set. Should be able to put something together shortly. Just need to strip down some ARs that are now paper weights

 

[dlawlz]

I trimmed my spring as well, boy is that ever a ##### without the special tool

Are you talking about the anodized aluminum upper and lower receiver?

They will not have an issue from hand oils that I have ever seen. Anodizing creates a hard surface that protects the aluminum.

In general, just keep the aluminum anodized surfaces clean.

Lose 4 detents

Thank you and I should have known Mike would know - he has a lot.

Definitely happy with the results!
